BBC NEWS | Europe | Bomb attack on Italian barracks

Two people have been injured in a bomb explosion at an army barracks in Milan in northern Italy.

One of those injured was the attacker who threw the device, according to the Italian news agency, Ansa.

The man was reported to be foreign, possibly from North Africa, though his nationality was not clear. He was said to be "in a serious condition".

The other casualty was a soldier lightly hurt by glass shards after the blast, Ansa said.
